There is a big difference in taste between C. chinenses and C. baccatums. Both are described as fruity, but the taste is different. My tastebuds say that most baccatums have fresh citrus flavor and chinenses have kinda tropical flavor. The heat in these peppers also different. In my experince the baccatum heat is sharper.

If the third pepper has hairy leaves it is C. pubescens.
